Episode 17: Slide Another War Crime on the Barbie

This Podcast is Propaganda

12/13/20 • 78 min

G'day Mate!

This week we're all going Down Unda' to talk about how good ol' Aussie SAS boys were killing innocents over in Afghanistan.

We discuss how the Australian State is punishing the whistleblower with a possible 50 years in jail after trying for years to have his military superiors, the federal police, and high ranking politicians do something about the war crimes he witnessed, we look at the findings of the leaked Afghan Files, the Brereton Report, and the manufactured outrage around Zhao Lijian's tweet of a "doctored image" a.k.a political art.

Episode 5: Analyzing the Boogaloo

This Podcast is Propaganda

07/10/20 • 103 min

Episode 5 takes a look at the Boogaloo Movement, it's origin, evolution, ideologies, and future.

I took the last week to research online Boogaloo communities and social media platforms, as well as have some conversations with purported members of the movement in an attempt to answer the question, "Is the Boogaloo Movement a white nationalist project?"

This was originally intended to be a shorter episode, but in my usual style I couldn't help but continue to dig deeper into the subject. and finished with an analysis of how people get involved, how their political radicalization progresses, and what we can do as progressives, leftists, and revolutionaries to stop it.

This Podcast is Propaganda

09/26/21 • 121 min

Episode 20.4: Reactionary Evangelical Christianity

This Podcast is Propaganda

04/18/21 • 70 min

Back again with the final part of our multi-episode series on reactionary Evangelical Christianity in the U.S.

In this episode, I finish analyzing the essay "The Integration of Theory and Action", the revolutionary call to action published by Eric Heubeck, in an effort to organize a quasi-Leninist socially conservative movement to seize control of American society.

This is a great read, fun episode, and we find some explicit calls by the author for "New Traditionalists" to study revolutionary literature, theory, and strategy for the own political program.

Episode 20.3: Reactionary Evangelical Christianity

This Podcast is Propaganda

04/11/21 • 137 min

In this episode I analyze "The Integration of Theory and Practice: A Program for the New Traditionalist Movement" by Eric Heubeck, a "lost" essay written by the protege of a man some called the "Lenin of social conservatism", written in 2001 and seemingly wiped from the internet in 2006.

I managed to track down a copy and analyze it to better understand the"New Traditionalist" strategy for theological revolution in the U.S..

I also compare three strategies seemingly taken from Marxist theory, that have been utilized successfully by the American Christian Right:

1. The Vanguard Party

2. Dual Power

3. The War of Position

In my humble opinion, this is by far the best episode of this series, hope you enjoy!

Episode 20.2: Reactionary Evangelical Christianity

This Podcast is Propaganda

03/21/21 • 85 min

This is the second part of our multi-part series on the reactionary forces of American Evangelical Christianity.

I discuss how some Evangelical leaders utilized and internalized racist, sexist, homophobic, and anticommunist narratives on their path to power. I also examine how the Evangelical movement allied with American capital, and utilized capitalism to expand their influence into the realm of their adherents' material needs.

Next week is the final part of this series, then it's back to some actual Marxism!
